UK business schools still worth the money after Brexit?

Would you still go for a top business school in the UK (LBS, LSE or the like) if a no-deal Brexit happens? Would you be worried that the schools' reputation or the value of graduating there takes a hit?

I am a bit concerned about paying ~30k for a master's program in a country where many of the finance jobs might cease to exist soon, and where the economy might get wrecked.

If you were to choose another European country for your studies because of this, what would it be?

 

I think the impact will be minimal. The jobs you will (hopefully) be going for after top-level schools are not really what the banks are moving to Europe (those are mostly going to be MO/BO).

Even in the absolute worse case and there is a hard Brexit and GDP shrinks 10%, you are still talking about a $2.2-$2.4 trillion GDP, its not like the country will cease to function.

 

I agree that the country will be just fine, but I'm not so sure that will be the case in the short-term. If a no-deal happens, on top of all the economic troubles Scotland may want to become independent too, etc.

It feels like there are just too many things that can weaken the UK at the same time.

 

That's the problem. If it wasn't for Brexit, I would have been more comfortable working in the UK. Now I'm more open to exploring other places in Europe such as Spain or France. Of course US, Canada would be nice at some point too...
